Drug profile overview and clinical applications
Drug addiction is a human issue that breeds physiological and psychological consequences. Drug addiction is marked by physical dependence, and is defined by the uncontrollable, compulsive urge to use a drug despite harmful consequences. Psychological responses to drug use may reflect anxiety, protective, and/or positive pleasure motivations. Physiologically, drug use affects the following areas of the brain: the brain stem, the cerebral cortex, and the limbic system. Of these, the limbic system perpetuates addiction as it reinforces the pleasure response associated with the release of dopamine that is subsequent to drug use. Five categories of drugs are discussed: stimulants, depressants, narcotics, hallucinogens, and cannabis. Prescription drugs are also considered for their addictive potential.

Manchurian Candidate 1962 John Frankenheimer
John Frankenheimer began his career in the early days of American television in 1954 and directed over 150 television shows before going to the cinema in 1961. The quality of his major films is to take the viewer in the gut with powerful images and often indelible, imposing his own vision of the subject as indisputable evidence. (Kellner, pp285-305) He is not afraid to shock or provoke violent reactions in the audience and whatever the type of work it performs (small or large production). (Mitchell, pp41-54) To do so, his production is always the result of a lot of work in which he set up structures to complex camera movements bold and never free, which combined with his knowledge of the assembly allows him to surprise and 'hook the audience like few filmmakers are able. (Grice, pp144)
